Mad Monkey Informs. Very important!!

Dear guests, we urgently want to warn you about a new scam in Thakhek. Today, customers complained to Mad Monkey that we had delivered total junk bike to their guesthouse!!
Mad Monkey Motorbike Rental does not deliver vehicles to other guesthouses at all !! Never !!
If someone wants a bike from us, it has to be either directly in the Mad Monkey Motorbike shop or at our own hostel, the Fip's Inn Thakhek. Nowhere else !!
Please check the bike carefully, is there a sticker on it, it says its from Mad Monkey. Did you sign a contract it says, it’s a Mad Monkey bike.
It turned out that this bike was delivered by another rental provider, but the customer was told it was a bike from Mad Monkey.
Please be careful!!
Greetings, your Mad Monkey Team

Liebe Motorradfreunde (update 2025)

Ich möchte euch mit grosser Freude und Stolz mitteilen, dass wir bereits einige Gäste in unserem neuen Hostel (Das Fips’s Inn Hostel Thakhek) von Mad Monkey begrüßen durften und ihnen auch dort den gewohnten Service zu einem fairen Preis bieten können. Unsere Preisliste fuer die bikes ist weiterhin in USD abgefasst!!
In laotischer Währung ist das aufgrund der rasenden Inflation nicht mehr Sinnvoll. Ich bitte daher, um euer Verständnis. Wir haben es geschafft, auch nach fast 3 Jahren Lock down euch den gleichen Service zu bieten, ohne die Preise zu erhöhen und da sind wir sehr stolz darauf. Bester Service zu fairem Preis!
Leider benutzen manche Guesthouses und Restaurants die Gunst der Stunde und bieten den Touristen eigene Scooter zum Mieten an. Diese haben oft keines, oder ein „gelbes“ Nummernschild. Das ist aber in Laos streng verboten und kann sehr hohe Bußgelder mit sich bringen. Besonders keikel wird es dann, wenn Einheimische involviert sind.
Bei einem Unfall haftet immer ausschliesslich der Fahrer, nicht der Besitzer!
Dann haben sich in den letzten Monaten sehr viel Unfälle auf dem Loop ereignet und ich muss mit Bedauern mitteilen, dass sich viele Touristen sehr schwere Verletzungen zugezogen haben. Einige dieser Unfälle waren auf gravierende technische Mängel oder den sehr hohen LKW-verkehr zurückzuführen. Mangelnde oder fehlende Wartung der Fahrzeuge waren hier meist mit die Ursache. (Kaputte Bremsen, blockierende Lenker um nur die schlimmsten Dinge zu erwähnen.). Zum Glück waren keine unserer Fahrzeuge oder Kunden in diese Unfälle involviert und wir wünschen allen weiterhin gute und sichere Fahrt.
Wir bieten euch weiterhin gute Motorräder in bester Qualität zu einem fairen Preis und freuen uns sehr, euch bald bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen. Auf in die neue Saison 25/26

Viele liebe Grüße aus Laos euer

Mad Monkey Team

Dear motorcycle friends from all over the world. I would love to hear your opinion on an important question.
We at Mad Monkey intend to buy e-MTBs so that we can also contribute to environmentally friendly tourism. However, this also means a very high investment in the bikes for us. Therefore, we would like to know from you if you would also do the loop with such a bike and if a price of $20 per day is appropriate for you. I ask for as many inputs from you as possible. I would like to thank you in advance for your answers and opinions.
Best regards, your Mad Monkey Team.

Dear motorcycle friends, I was very surprised to find out that there is a rental company in Thakhek that offers a crash course for tourists who have no riding experience.
This is not only negligence, it is an intentional bodily injury for us. The loop is not feasible for tourists without driving skills!
This is due to the increasing heavy goods traffic, the sometimes very bad road conditions, animals and non-existent knowledge about traffic rules of the locals. In your own interest, we ask you not to ride the loop yourself if you do not have sufficient knowledge.
In 2023, 2 tourists died on the loop, counting serious accidents with the most serious injuries. And all for the reasons mentioned above.
We offer guided tours by car or an Easy Rider service for tourists with little or no driving experience.
Thanks for reading, your Mad Monkey Team

Dear motorcycle friends,

I don't really think it's necessary that I have to justify our prices. But I am forced to react by false information spread by my competition.
We are accused of doubling prices. We didn't! We have 60% inflation in this country. We have had the same prices consistently for 7 years. Only our prices are in USD.
So, I have to vehemently reject this accusation.
Many greetings yours
Mad Monkey Team.
